tralac Newsletter | March 2021

This has been an important month for tralac’s work on women in trade and trade governance.

This Newsletter offers insight into some of the key areas of discussion and research, including women’s participation in services trade, as well as the policy responses and support interventions these findings prompt.

We also reflect on the AfCFTA negotiations, in particular our recent work on investment, and provide updates on AGOA.
